Arabian Tea House

Now Open

Arabian Tea House is the First Authentic Emirati restaurant in UAE that opened its doors in 1997, with a vision to create a strong presence of Emirati culture and cuisine around the globe. Our tagline ‘Experience Emirati Hospitality’ defines our zeal to serve a variety of homemade, traditional, and healthy Emirati dishes with a warm and serene experience.

All our branches have a cultural relevance taking you back in time where you can experience UAE’s journey of the past and explore its cultural heritage. Our first branch in Bastakiya District, is a pearl-divers home transformed to deliver a homely experience. Our second and third branches in The Mall, Jumeirah Road and Souk Al Shanasiyah, Sharjah have magnificent views of Burj Al Arab and Corniche Street respectively. Our fourth branch at the Archaeological site, Jumeirah is one of the historical treasures of UAE that dates back to the 9th century AD and also has the city’s skyline soaring in the background.

Arabian Tea House has also expanded its presence internationally, with branches in Egypt and Montenegro, named as “Dubai House”.

The story of the man behind the Arabian Tea House is no less intriguing than the place itself. Ali Alrais set it up after travelling for 20 years around the world, calling it his little hideaway. ‘The idea behind setting up the restaurant was to relive the past. It was the perfect way to showcase my city to people from all over the world,’ he quotes.
